Smith is now a possibility considering that we could realistically compete for the West next year. Before today, the Hornets were not thought of as contenders, something that would have been unattractive ot Smith.

Good trade. If Okafor gets half the bump that Chandler did by playing with Paul, this will be a fantastic deal. If both were totally healthy, it's very debatable over who is better imo.

If TC were healthy, I seriously, seriously doubt we'd be trying to deal him. His downside remained a lack of offensive game. He tried to show us something early last year, but all he did was clank the rim when he shot the ball from beyond 3'. Even with that downside, I don't think the Hornets would be trying to move him IF he were healthy. The Hornets believe that he is not healthy enough for the long-term prospect. Are they right? I don't know, but they certainly are acting like they are convinced that their opinion on TC's prognosis is correct.

Trading for Okafor also means we can sign a smaller big in free agency, not someone like a Mikki Moore who can play PF/C.

i agree, just saying overpaying for glen davis so that boston wouldn't match wouldn't be productive. if they could get warrick for something fair who would be a change of pace from david west with his athleticism or a banger who would play inside the paint area which also would be another change of pace from dwest would help.

I like the idea of Okafur, West, & Wright in the front court. Now having made this move could we trade Daniels for a backup big? or just sign Warrick or Joe Smith and we have a good little team for next year.

Saying we don't give up JuJu and we add Warrick
